The race to finish inside the top 5 looks to be very much in the hands of Newcastle United and they will be looking to press on here against Manchester United. The visitors are in the midst of a Europa League tie with Lyon, which is sure to garner plenty of their attention, but they will be looking to make life tough for Toon at St James’s Park. Eddie Howe’s side are going well though and are the firm favourites for this one.

Newcastle United vs Manchester United Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Newcastle United
The confidence boost Newcastle have picked up from their comprehensive Carabao Cup win over Liverpool last month appears to be seismic, with Toon now kicking on in pursuit of a top 5 finish. Defeats of Brentford and Leicester City have moved them into pole position when it comes to cracking the top 4 and they certainly have the momentum. Manchester United at home is always a game that resonates with Toon fans and St James’s Park should be rocking here.
Team news: Lewis Hall, Jamal Lascelles and Sven Botman remain out of action for the Magpies.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Trippier, Guimares, Joelinton, Tonali, Murphy, Gordon & Isak.
Manchester United
A decent point at home to Champions Manchester City will be something for Manchester United to hold onto ahead of this one but they will also be preoccupied with their two-legged Europa League tie with Lyon here. United have been way off the pace this season in the Premier League but they are showing signs that they are ready to rebuild next term under Ruben Amorim. This will be a good one but United are very much second favourites for this fixture with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Jonny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo & Lisandro Martinez will all miss this one for United.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Onana, Dalot, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro, Dorgu, Casemiro, Ugarte, Fernandes, Garnacho & Hojlund.
Newcastle United vs Manchester United Prediction
Finishing in the Champions League places for the second time in 3 seasons would be a huge step in the right direction for Newcastle United and they look very well placed to do just that. They have been ticking along very nicely in the Premier League of late and they should be backed to the hilt here against Manchester United. Completely writing off the Red Devils is never wise, but Newcastle should be too strong for them here.
Prediction: Newcastle United to win the match – 3/4 (+125) – Rhino Bet.
Newcastle United vs Manchester United – The Ultimate Bet
Newcastle United to win & BTTS – 21/10 (+210) – Fitzdares
This should be a firecracker of a game, which should suit Newcastle and they look better placed to pick up all three points.
